Moisture Detection Imaging (MDI)

The Stunning New Reason Acuren’s CUI Program Delivers Epic Savings

Acuren’s Moisture Detection Imaging (MDI) is a must-have component of any CUI program. MDI will identify the presence of moisture within, or under insulation without the use of any other nondestructive examination or testing and without having to remove the insulation, with visual confirmation in real time.

Detecting moisture is one way to attack the root cause of corrosion versus focusing on symptoms. MDI is a part of our comprehensive CUI inspection program providing information that enables operators and owners to make decisions and prioritize where to focus more targeted inspection methods.

Richarson Oilseed is one of Canada’s oldest and largest fully-integrated crushing, refining, processing and packaging operations. In the absence of timely manufacturer support for a critical equipment issue, the full time onsite Acuren Condition Monitoring Specialist was able to diagnose and provide a detailed correction path on a defective trunion bearing.

Historically, a damaged tank, piping or vessel that could not be evaluated successfully using basic standard practices was slated for costly repair, or decommissioning. They turned to Acuren to propose solutions in order to fully understand their options.
